If you get urself an ignition ECU that can do it, u can retain Mfi.

if you're serious about it going completely EFI would probably be the easier option in the long run.

you still having ignition problems with yours then?

You can use a megajolt to run your ignition and keep the MFI. Not too difficult if you do some research and use common sense. You will get some improvements and drivability and perhaps some bhp.

A megasquirt ECU operating ignition only would be my choice.

You can map the ignition to the nth degree, and do a lot of other cool stuff too.
